Using Alma Digital to Provide Access to Digital Scores: One Music Library's Experience
English Abstract: The staff of the Anne Potter Wilson Library at Vanderbilt University has faced the challenge of providing digital scores to our users since 2016. This article describes procedures developed for acquiring, cataloguing, storing, seeking out usage permissions, and making accessible digital scores. Our collections of scores, whether print or electronic, have traditionally focused on contemporary works and more recently, scores of un…
Harriet Martineau's Empiricism
In 1832 Harriet Martineau began writing a series of fictional tales intended to illustrate the principles of political economy. By 1834 monthly sales numbers for the series were prolific and Martineau was gaining an international reputation. The Illustrations of Political Economy has long been read as advancing a simplistic popular Ricardianism that spoke powerfully to its immediate audience but became obsolete within just a few decades. This art…
The Relationships among Expected Inflation, Disagreement, and Uncertainty: Evidence from Matched Point and Density Forecasts
This paper examines matched point and density forecasts of inflation from the Survey of Professional Forecasters to analyze the relationships among expected inflation, disagreement, and uncertainty. We undertake the empirical analysis within a seemingly unrelated regression framework and derive measures of uncertainty using a decomposition proposed by Wallis (2004, 2005) and by drawing on the concept of entropy. The results offer little evidence …
Using Regional Economic Indexes to Forecast Tax Bases: Evidence from New York
This paper evaluates the use of measures of regional economic activity to forecast tax revenues for New York State and New York City at 3-, 6-, and 12-month horizons. We construct sales- and withholding-tax base series and then apply the methodology of Stock and Watson (1989, 1991) to estimate regional indexes of coincident economic indicators. Employing an out-of-sample forecasting framework, we find that the use of the coincident indexes leads …
Uncertainty and Labor Contract Durations
This paper provides an empirical investigation into the relationship between uncertainty and ex ante U.S. labor contract durations over the period 1970 to 1995. Using a structural identification of aggregate demand and aggregate supply shocks, we find that desired contract durations are shorter during periods of heightened nominal or real uncertainty. This evidence supports the view that labor contract durations respond endogenously to the aggreg…

Constant Ratio Rule for Confusion Matrices From Short‐term Memory Experiments
Clarke (1957) has presented evidence that a constant ratio rule holds for auditory signal identification experiments. That is, the subset of a large confusion matrix may be used to predict a smaller confusion matrix based on data gathered under identical conditions. Evidence is presented that the constant ratio rule also holds for confusion matrices derived from short‐term memory experiments. The 10 times 10 confusion matrix presented by Conrad (…
